Reflexology is an ancient, natural, non invasive therapy that recognizes reflex points in the hands and feet correspond to glands, organs and all parts of the body. It can be traced back to 2330BC in Ancient Egypt. Reflexology also dates back to earlier Chinese health practices 5000 years ago. Reflexology acknowledges the feet to be a mirror of the body.

The foot is like a mini map. Reflexes travel by nerve impulses that link all areas of the body. Stimulation of these reflexes by applying gentle massage and specific pressure point techniques to the feet helps create a healthy harmonious state, thus stimulating the body's natural powers of self healing.
